There was a dino-sized turnout last year when Jurassic Quest made a stop in Dayton on its nationwide tour. Here’s what’s new for Jurassic Quest in 2019:

- 24-foot Carnotaurus and T-Rex rides, which are billed as the largest rideable dinosaurs in North America

- New walking dinosaur rides

- 30 new dinosaurs. Over 80 total dinosaurs, including a life-size Spinosaurus, Apatosaurus, Triceratops, Giganotosaurus, Pinochiorex, Dracorex, Ouranosaurus, and many more moving, breathing, and even walking dinosaurs

It’s not required, however, it’s recommended to purchase tickets ahead of time, as they could sell out. Purchase tickets online at jurassicquest.com.

Jurassic Quest returning to Dayton soon

Interacting with a real-life dinosaur may sound scary, but there is no reason to fear these robotic life-like puppets. Unlimited dinosaur rides, Jurassic jeeps and dino scooters along with bounce houses, bungee pulls and more are part of the entertainment.

Jurassic Quest returning to Dayton soon

Guests will have an opportunity to pet and play with baby dinosaurs, touch and hang out with the toddler-aged T-Rex and Spinosaurus, and the children will actually have a chance to ride a moving dinosaur, with five different dinosaurs to choose from.
